Both teams will look to put their best foot forward with two important points up for grabs at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
Sunrisers Hyderabad will clash with the Punjab Kings in the 14th game of the IPL 2023 on Tuesday, 18th April at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. Sunrisers Hyderabad finished in 8th place in the points table last season and have started poorly this season as well, losing two out of their two games so far. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Fazalhaq Farooqi and Adil Rashid have performed in patches but the rest of the bowling has struggled. Their batters have also failed to impress, Aiden Markram got out on a golden duck in his first game as the SRH skipper but came back well with some match-winning contributions and took his team to back-to-back victories. Harry Brook scored a fantastic century and has looked in tremendous form. He has been ably helped by Rahul Tripathi and Aiden Markram who have done the bulk of the scoring for SRH.
On the other hand, MI started their season with two back-to-back losses, they were defeated by Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings. They came back well and went on to win their next two games and were led by Suryakumar Yadav in the previous match. Rohit Sharma came in as an impact player and will be interesting to see Mumbai Indians playing XI for this away fixture against SRH. The bowling has struggled and they have been missing their prime bowler Jasprit Bumrah. Both teams will look to put their best foot forward with two important points up for grabs at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
The surface at the Ravij Gandhi stadium has traditionally been a high-scoring venue with batters enjoying their time in the middle. The ball might do a little bit for the fast bowlers in the initial stages of the match, but it will get easier to bat as the match progresses. The team winning the toss would be inclined to bowl first at this venue and chase the score down in the second innings with some dew expected.
